Ohio Logistics manages the logistical activities for firms by matching companies that need products shipped with carriers that can provide the best rates and best service for the companies. Ohio Logistics is very concerned that its carriers deliver their customers material on time, so it carefully monitors the percentage of on-time deliveries. The following table contains a list of the carriers used by Ohio Logistics and the corresponding on-time percentages for the current and previous years. a. Sort the carriers in descending order by their current years percentage of on-time deliveries. Which carrier is providing the best service in the current year? Which carrier is providing the worst service in the current year? b. Calculate the change in percentage of on-time deliveries from the previous to the current year for each carrier. Use Excels conditional formatting to highlight the carriers whose on-time percentage decreased from the previous year to the current year. c. Use Excels conditional formatting tool to create data bars for the change in percentage of on-time deliveries from the previous year to the current year for each carrier calculated in part b. d. Which carriers should Ohio Logistics try to use in the future? Why?
Refer to the information for Farnsworth Company (p. 139) for the first 10 months of data on receiving orders and receiving cost. Now suppose that Tracy has gathered 2 more months of data: Note: For the following requirements, round the intercept terms to the nearest dollar, round the variable rates to the nearest cent, and R2 to two decimal places. Required: 1. Run two regressions using a computer spreadsheet program such as Excel. First, use the method of least squares on the first 10 months of data. Then, use the method of least squares on all 12 months of data. Write down the results for the intercept, slope, and R2 for each regression. Compare the results. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Prepare a scattergraph using all 12 months of data. Do any points appear to be outliers? Suppose Tracy has learned that the factory suffered severe storm damage during Month 11 that required extensive repairs to the receiving areaincluding major repairs on a forklift. These expenses, included in Month 11 receiving costs, are not expected to recur. What step might Tracy, using her judgment, take to amend the results from the method of least squares? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Rerun the method of least squares, using all the data except for Month 11. (You should now have 11 months of data.) Prepare a cost formula for receiving based on these results, and calculate the predicted receiving cost for a month with 1,450 receiving orders. Discuss the results from this regression versus those from the regression for 12 months of data.
For a typical order, assume the following times (in hours): storage time (in between processes), 4.0; inspection time, 2.0; move time (from process to process), 3.0; and manufacturing (processing) time, 6.0. Given this information, what is the manufacturing cycle efficiency (%)? (Hint: Refer to Exhibit 14.14.) (Round your answer to 1 decimal place. (e.g., 32.463% = 32.5%))
For a typical order, assume the following times (in hours): storage time (in between processes),5.0; inspection time, 1.0; move time (from process to process), 2.0; and manufacturing (processing) time, 8.0. Given this information, what is the manufacturing cycle efficiency (%), roundedto 1 decimal place (e.g., 45.156% = 45.2%)? (Hint: Refer to Exhibit 14.14 and accompanyingdiscussion.)
Marketing system provides some useful insights regarding the sales order. Different departmentsuse this information. For instance, the production process uses this information to forecast theexpected sale for next month. The production clerk uses this to create an online productionschedule. From this schedule, the system automatically prepares weekly online work orders to beused by the production department. The production supervisor assesses the work orders from his terminal and prepares the necessary paper-based move tickets and materials requisitions. Then, the move tickets and two copies of the materials requisitions are distributed to each work centre. Later, work centre employees submit the two copies of the materials requisitions to the warehouse in exchange for materials and sub-assemblies. If additional new materials are needed beyond the standard quantity, thesupervisor issues additional materials requisitions. Work centre employees record their work hours on paper-based job…

The following describes the expenditure cycle for a hypothetical company. The company has a centralized computer system with terminals located in various departments. The terminals are networked to a computer application, and digital accounting records are hosted on a serverin the data processing department. Each day, the computer in the data processing center scans the inventory records looking for items that must be replenished. For each item below itsreorder point, the system creates a digital purchase order and prints two hard copies. A technician in the data center sends the purchase orders to the purchasing department clerk.Upon receipt of the purchase orders, the purchasing clerk reviews and signs them. He sends Copy 1 to the supplier and files Copy 2 in the purchasing department.A few days later, the supplier ships the order and the goods arrive at the receiving department. The receiving clerk reviews the digital purchase order from his terminal, inspects the goods,…
